CABLE OR TELEGRAPH CODE.

Speeification'of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 28, 1908.

To all whom it may concern.- Be it known that I, FREDERICK PAIN, a subject of the Kin 'of Great Britain, residor Telegraph Codes, of which the following is a specification, reference being had herein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to an improved cable or telegraph code, the main object of the invention being the production of a code,

' in which pronounceable words of five letters are employed; and are adapted'to be either used as a refix or a terminal to another pronouncea 1e word of five letters, thus producing a pronounceable word of ten letters, and complying withthe requirements of the cable companies.

To carry the invention into 1practice, I employ all of the vowels A, E, -O and U an the followi consonants, viz: B, O, D, F, G, K, L, M, P, R, S, T, V, Z. Now-to clearly illustrate the use of m five letter pronounceable word, reference s ould be had to the accompanying drawings, in which V Figure '1 represents four ronounceable words of five letters, with their translations. Fig. 2 is a group of two combinations from the words of Fig. 1, and their translations. Fig. 3 is one of the words of Fig. 1 and its translation, and a new pronounceable word and its translations. Fig. 4 is the two words of'Fi 3 combined, givlng their combined trans ation. Fig. 5 is another group of illustration, as of Fig. 1, and Fig. 6 illustrates two combinations thereof with translations.

From the drawings and especially by referring to Figs. 1 and 2, it will be seen that the combination of the two .pronounceable words cabbodacce, a pronounceable word 0 ten letters is roduced, and translated would read Un ess you can do as requested; while the combination of pro nounceable words cuzocageda, constitutes a pronounceableword of ten letters, and is translated Do nothing about it yet, answer by cable in any event.

Application filed October 8. 1907. Serial 110.396.514.

As shown in Fig. 4:, I have combined the two pronounceable words a edacutam of Fig. 3, and thus I produce anot er pronounceable word of ten letters, which when translated reads, Answer by cable in any event what you can do.

In Fig. 5, I have illustrated four pronounceable Words of-five letters, and in Fig. 6, I have combined them in pairs, one of the words in this combination, which were used as aprefix in Fig. 2, being reversed, as for instance the words cabbo and dacce.

It is apparent that many such combina;

nounceable and are used, either as a prefix or a terminal, to constitute a ten letter pronounceable word.

2. A cable or telegraph code, comprising a series of five lettered pronouneeable words, which can either be combined as prefixes or terminais, to form a ten lettered pronounceable word.

FtA cable or telegraph code, employing the vowels, a, e, i, o, 11, combined with any combination of the consonants, b, c, d, f, g, k, l, m, n, p, r, s, t, v, z, to producea five lettered pronounceable word, which is adapted to be used either as a prefix or a terminal of a ten lettered pronounceable Word. 4. A cable, or telegraph code, in which a 'pronounceable word of five letters is used FREDERICK PAIN.
